Yes i can be .consult your pediatrician/ neonatologist immediately..your baby needs phototherapy and if bilirubin.also you need to undergo certain tests to know the cause..whether its physiological or breast milk or breast feeding jaundice...Dont worry it can be easily managed with phototherapy and adequate feeding.
